Amidst the intoxicating highs of Colorado's arduous 12-round shootout win in Phoenix on Friday night was a scathing low for Jose Theodore. It happened when Paul Stastny accidentally tipped a shot past him with only 2.8 seconds left in what should have been a regulation win. This series of unfortunate events was just one of many experienced by goalies over the weekend, proving that the level of intensity in games and their overall importance truly elevates right before the trade deadline.
Antero Niittymaki fell victim to the Panthers after Jay Bouwmeester scored with only four ticks left in regulation and then Olli Jokinen won it in OT. Ty Conklin relinquished a four goal lead to the Senators and then suffered the OT loss when Daniel Alfredsson scored with four seconds left. Brent Johnston was scored on in the first minute of the third period and then again in the final minute of OT to the Devils.
These last-second letdowns followed by incredible overtimes and chaotic shootouts are moments that act as explosive morsels of momentum. On the winning end it's the source for an inconsistent goalie going on a hot streak. On the other end, a goalie can fall apart – and that can include the team as well. But in some cases, a goalie can actually use these terrible moments of defeat as a chance to create what ultimately turns out to be a positive result.
For example, Theodore responded to the last-second goal against by stopping all seven of Phoenix's chances to win the game in the shootout. Looking beyond that game, Theodore has faced so many of these moments in his career that it just adds up. For all the bad bounces and bad moments he's faced, the experiences have molded him into one of the most resilient goalies in the league.
The former Hart Trophy winner quickly climbed to the top of the mountain early in his career with Montreal and just as quickly tumbled down the other side, only to be staring at the top again wondering if he'll ever have the strength to make it back. Lo and behold, with the help of former-teammate-turned-goalie-coach Jeff Hackett, Jose's well on his way back to the top. It's no secret that Hackett has helped to turn Theodore into a more consistent and confident decision-maker, yet his strength to continue improving as the games gain importance for the Avalanche has come strictly from within.
Overall, those crucial moments that transpire within a game's final seconds builds up over the course of a career and molds a young star into a veteran leader. This is how rookies evolve into legends. And this is how a goalie can bring 20 players together to make a real team. And this is how that team plays great down the stretch. And this is how that goalie leads the team to the promise land. And now you will see why the best clutch goalies of all are the ones that get better as the season progresses.
The Best Are Getting Better
All around the league right now, the proven winners are playing at the top of their game. While question marks surrounded guys like Miikka Kiprusoff, Martin Brodeur, Marty Turco, Roberto Luongo and J.S. Giguere in the first half of the season, right now they are simply the hottest in the league.
Brodeur has led the Devils to sole possession of the Eastern Conference lead for the first time in more than six years, Luongo has pulled the Canucks into a solid playoff spot, Turco has led the Stars to within striking range of the Red Wings and Kiprusoff has put the Flames atop the Northwest Division.
There's a reason why the best goalies are the best in February and March – it's the experience gained by being in the pressure-filled, final-second situations numerous times. So trust your top goalie in the month of March and don't be afraid to put him in the lineup in a big game. Just take a look at how the goalies mentioned above have improved their play in the last two months.

ii think that lauren is acting like a spoil brat! just cos she THINKS she goood lucking and deffoo OVER REACTED to arron cuttin up the fags :@ shes really starting to get on my nerves and am sure others aswell! GET LAUREN OUT!!
This comment was removed by a moderator
@Staceyyy I truly cannot comprehend how a girl could actually try to defend Connor in this situation!! I have seen men making such violent comments towards women many times before. But how can any woman think that what Connor said was just 'a little uncalled for'?! And why would anyone want to switch over, stop watching Big Brother and let Connor get away with this?! People would rather speak up their mind and hope he gets some kind of (deserved) punishment for what he said. Also for how he spoke to and touched Scott in an intimidating way after the football table incident. I just cannot understand what Deana has done to deserve all that aggressive verbal abuse from the boys. Honestly I don't.
So glad Lydia is out, I've never met someone as two faced and conniving. Caroline needs to go, all she does is whinge and moan about people and its becoming annoying. And seriously what Connor said was a little uncalled for but I think everyone is going OTT with it, don't like what he said, instead of bitching about it, switch over!!!

all you people that think that is racist are racist yourselves it wasnt meant in a racist manner and has been completely taken out of context yes she is a little brat but i dont think even when she got pulled up she knew they were saying it was racist because she didnt mean it like that
I dont get why people hate lauren, shes lovely and clearly nice hearted. Lauren has been a victim of the 'in crowds' bullying, they are manipulating her and she is clearly confused by this. Shes not an emo- just having a tough time, and Ashleigh is well out of order being so nasty to her.
I love Sara's laugh it's brilliant :')
GET LAUREN OUT! Shes a complete moron, i get what ashleighs saying because there is more smokers. Shes a complete drama queen and always think everyones out to get her, jeez she needs to get a grip
Yes it was wrong what Conor said but it's clear he didn't mean it, he was just speaking from anger as do the rest of the housemates. He apologised and there isn't anything else he can do. Ashleigh is clearly very jealous of Lauren, and knows Lauren struggles to stand up for herself and is an easy target.. she wouldn't dare say them things to someone like Shievonne.

If you look at what the viewing figures are, then it should be obvious why discipline is so lax by the producers. It's less than 2million from the regular 6million it used to be and reckon crowd and audience members on 'bit on the side' all work for the same extras agency.
Dear Moderator, are you high? What's going on with you today? Get a grip eh? Love ya! ;)
i for one personally thinks his sexy as a male wish he was yummmy
Classic conor and arron taking Ashleigh bath they jumping out because it is too hot could not stop laughing
that is so weird i wrote the exact same post twice and only one was removed by moderator weird????????????/

righto also the whole nation is watching and a couple of others what about all rape victims out their how would they feel tuning into this?
@misty you can like conor all you wantg and enjoy the show i liked him too in the beginning but its not about what they say about eachother it was really scary to think his attitude towards woman who anger him can be violent and that is where the out cry lies i believe conor is a handsome tall masculine fellow we want to believe he would be a gentleman too if these are traits that make men appealing noone expected him to spout violence and actual bodily harm even spoken in anger it goes a long way in showing what respect and values one exhibits it is often common to relate to these situation if you have personally experience violence in your life which i truly hope to god you havent but if you young do choose wisely the novelty of a pretty boy can wear of quickly when faced with violence

yes i also expected to here the crowd chant sth about them two wierd
Considering the public outcry regarding Connor and Caroline's vertbal abuse of fellow housemates, you would have though there might have been some dissenting hecklers in the crowd for Lydia's eviction.....not a one !! do you think it was maybe a selective crowd...as someone put it " rentacrowd". What other extreme measures are Ch5 going to stoop to, to try and cover their glaring incompetence in failing to punish either Connor or Caroline ?? Why are they so desperate to keep them in ?? Lets face it, neither one of them have a chance of winning, they have dug that deep a hole...they are not in the reckoning. Rightly so, Connor especially is dirty minded and foul and BB should be reprimanded for failure to act, therefore we have no option but to Complain to Ofcom..not necessarly against Connor's outburst, but against Ch5's decision to take no action against him.
I am OK with Lydia going, She was too one-dimensional for my tastes. I think she is basically insecure and a sheep just like those she criticised (they worked on a gameplan....so she worked on a gamplan). Rather than being fake, she is very real...but comes across as fake due to her total lack of self-awareness, She has little empathy and is oblivious to how she comes across or to others' feelings. If only she had been fake, she would not have been so dull to watch. I feel a little sorry for her, but at least she has met her Prince Charming!!!
i work nights so i miss big brother, so normally i use my sons xbox to watch the show, but thursdays episode isnt even on there yet, its a bit embarrassing calling yourself on demand

If you lot dont like what conor said then dont watch the show! it wasnt even that bad, all of them bitch about each other, jeeez dont watch it if you think its 'disgusting'! i love conor!
When you think about the inflammatory behaviour we've been allowed to see by the BB programme editors it makes you wonder what we haven't seen.....
I have some real trouble trying to connect with these housemates , last times one , I really enjoyed watching aaron, he was good , but these housemates are pretty boring, and have hardly any logic
Can you please try and update the Xbox 360 Demand 5 app please? Thursday's episode isn't even up there yet yet alone Friday's. Come on it's Saturday, let's stay on the ball C5!

Brian is too soft!!!! Disappointing interview with Lydia!
Some people are really sad with all this "lets complain to offcom". Must have been wrapped up in cotton woolall their lives and unable to accept what happens in the real world. If you dont like what real people live like and dont want to view people's personalities on tv, then dont want the show. Especially if the slightest thing offends you. Theres going to be so many split opinions about people in the house as were all different! Luke S or Luke A to win :)
Oh My Gawd Ashliegh is SOOOOO STOOOOOPID. Someone please tell her to not eat with her mouth full and try to act like a lady for gods sake urgh, she disgust me, what does Luke see in her! There's nothing between her ears!!!
I have watched every single episode of this series, and yes Connor isnt very nice, but all of the house mates bitch about each other...so i don't understand what Connor has done soooo bad compared to the others? if you don't like whats going on in the show..dont watch it...its as simple as that.
The public have blown it. Lydia was the last of the conflict makers.....now we are just left with the brain dead Ashleigh, the boring majority and the decent few (Luke A & Adam)...don't need to watch any more....

What Did Conor Say That Was So Bad? I Missed That Bit
Peter North, looks like Big Brother isn't as predictable as you seem to think then...
OMG! It's half past three in the morning (so must be about 6 hours after the show was live) and it's actually on! Well done channel 5, you're getting better.
Remember to register a complaint on the Ofcom website if you find Conor's and Caroline's behaviour and minimal discipline offensive.

Why can't I watch this online? I missed it earlier and want to catch up by watching it ON DEMAND!!!! What is the flamming point of making people wait two days before they can watch it? I just won't bother now with the whole series you can shove it!!
i think its disgusting what conor said but he did apologise and thats all he can do know. caroline however, had said some vile and offensive things about adam and her behaviour is unnacceptable in the way she carried herself and targets quieter and weaker people
This comment was removed by a moderator
still waiting to watch this..........
This comment was removed by a moderator
People are commenting about, caroline and conners comments, i do feel both of their comments were wrong, but must say i feel that carolines comments were worse do to the racism, i feel connor just doesnt like deana, not is racist towards her.
Why does it take so long to upload it to demand 5? :/ Anyone know another link other than youtube, it says content blocked on there too! jheeeeeeeeeze
I don't think Caroline is a racist person however what she said was unacceptable and im glad BB pulled her into the diary room and gave her a formal warning - it sounded very formal and serious compared to the one Connor got. Its a shame BB. I would even go as far as saying it's not like were watching BB anymore because your too soft, the BB we all know was harsh and gave the correct punishments accordingly. What Connor said was quite frankly shameful, and not only have I complained because I thought he deserved to be kicked out, but I also think he should be disgusted with himself - he didnt seem to fully acknowledge and understand what he said on national television, yeah he walked out the diary room and made those few comments to Luke S and Aaron about what he said was just 'stupid' but is that really enough? I image this kids going to get one of the worst receptions walking out of that house ever heard on BB, we don't forgive easily when hearing words like that come out of a mans mouth. I wonder what his 'girlfriend' thinks of this?
I think it's pretty clear that taken in context, the gorilla comment was not intended to be racist. A lot of people are acting very morally superior here and just jumping on the bandwagon. Its ridiculous as well to say "Oh connor got what he wanted, lydia's out" as its the public who vote, not the housemates. Everyones so keen to judge these housemates and abuse them, do they not see the hypocrisy in verbally abusing someone because they don't like that person's abusive comments? And stop with this laurens getting bullied stuff, shes a big girl, not everyone's going to be liked, she needs to accept that and move on. Some of the housemates don't like her because she seems so desperate to be their friend, say what you want but thats not an attractive quality in a person. Thats just the real world for you.. Bahhh, rant over..
it takes a couple of weeks for people to show their true colors. I gasped with shock when Caroline said that "gorilla" comment . Should have been kicked out for that one.! Same for Conner for the disturbing comments about Deana. I am not even keen on Deana but I am sorry, No one deserves that. Both should be out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
REALLY? why is this still not on if you could gve live feeds why is the episodes not on as quick and caroline needs to get kicked out by big bother!! even f t was not racism she needs to learn the implications did like her but stand up for what is right and that really wasnt !!!! if not i think the news will have a nice impact!.
caroline is a spolit brat and a nasty bully needs to be evicted next week and she is fake
caroline is a spolit brat and a nasty bully needs to be evicted next week and she is fake
Big brother is way to soft the house is full of bullies and how jelous is ashley of Lauren picking on her for the littlest things. LAUREN NEEDS TO SPEAK UP!!!
Big brother is way to soft the house is full of bullies and how jelous is ashley of Lauren picking on her for the littlest things. LAUREN NEEDS TO SPEAK UP!!!
wow calm down. They shouldnt of said what they said, but they have apologised to big brother. They dont deserve to be kicked out for that, only if they do it again, everyone makes mistakes. Lydia should be kicked out for the way shes been acting, she is so 2 faced
So "Demand" 5....when will this episode be uploaded -_-
You need to upload these quicker! They take loooooong!
not one Connor hater in the crowd hahahaha!! - aye rite !!! GET CONNOR OUT !!!
Disgusted! CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT CONOR IS STILL ALLOWED TO STAY IN AFTER THE VERBAL ABUSE!
Deana is HOT !!!!!! i love her.
its a farce - the crowd have been told to act as if they are interestd who goes - CONNOR OUT !!!
ya ya cool show luved it
@Paddy Couldn't have said it batter myself. I agree with every word. I was disgusted that Connor and Caroline were let off so lightly with their behaviour. Unacceptable!!
why doesn't b.b. put them all up for eviction and let the public vote on who goes, i would like to see brian dead conor and luke s leave, lauren has been treated like dirt by b.b. first she lost her cigaretes and then lost a chance to talk to her sister, that was two nasty things they did to her while brain dead conor slide along a slide, WHOOPEE
Caroline was so cruel to adam calling him a gorilla when she went to apologise to adam she didnt say anything about the gorilla name calling she never ment a word she said i am suprised she just got a warning from BB. this is not good at all! Not acceptable!
This comment was removed by a moderator
I cannot agree with how BB has dealt with Conor or Caroline. Their behaviour is totally unacceptable and they should be thrown out. As far as I am concerned all BB is doing is rewarding bad behaviour and showing certain gulliable people that this is totally acceptable behavour. Maybe it is time to put an end to BB if this is what you think viewers find entertaining watching people being bullied. It is a crying shame that a programme which I loved is promoting this behaviour bullying. I have watched every BB show but this is the worst group of people ever bar Luke A, Sara, Lauren .

|Sticky Tag:
Flushed the #+copy-&rest-arg controlled copying of rest arguments, since the code was both unused in CMUCL, and was erroneous in places, too. This brings us in line with SBCL which removed the code early on.
Committed patch by Gerd Moellmann to rename the constant *slot-unbound* to the more fitting name +slot-unbound+.
Huge patch by Gerd Moellmann that removes PCL::ITERATE and PCL::GATHER* in favor of normal CL constructs. In a similar vein to SBCL, this patch also replaces all uses of #'(lambda ...) by just (lambda ...), and removes now-dated looking quotes in front of self-evaluating objects, like keywords and t/nil. The patch has been slightly frobbed by me, to correct a couple of slight oversights, and make more effective use of the loop facility in a number of places.
Remove all #+ and #- conditionals from the source code. What is left is essentially Common Lisp except for explicit references to things in CMUCL specific packages.
Cleanup of the PCL directory. Removed files and conditional code for long dead lisp implementations. Some parts of the code is now a bit easier to read and (hopefully) understand.
Add CMUCL style file-comments; from Peter Van Eynde.
Rework the code generated by emit-reader/writer to help the compiler generate better code.
This commit brings the PCL repository up to release 17f and also includes the changes in the X86 1.03.7 kit. Although the 1.03.7 changes were already in the repository, the other files appear to be of early vintage and do not work with a 17f system. Hopefully all is correctly synched now.
September-16-92-PCL-e has been incorporated into the CMUCL sources thanks to Rick Harris.

City of Fargo prepares for flood fightFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - With another flood fight imminent, more people are accepting the city's flood buyouts - 10 just today. In a special meeting city leaders tonight are making sure the city is in the best possible shape as the water rises.
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - With another flood fight imminent, more people are accepting the city's flood buyouts - 10 just today. In a special meeting city leaders tonight are making sure the city is in the best possible shape as the water rises.
One of the newest projects is building a new emergency levee near Walmart South. The levee will keep the ground dry and keep contractors on schedule with summer projects.
Many people living along the banks of the red river are familiar with levees and sandbags. Over the course of time - the city has offered flood home buyouts and they were back at it today.
Nancy Morris - Assistant Fargo City Attorney: "We have 76 offers, we have 21 acceptances, and 11 purchase agreements have been sent and 10 of them have been signed by 4:30 this afternoon."
Turns out the latest flood is also going to push back the annual clean-up week, typically held the first full week of May.
Bruce Grubb, Fargo Enterprise Director: "It might be good for the community to get a break for the summer and with flood clean-up crews. That's what we are recommending that we postpone clean up week to the last full week in September for the first time in our history."
Mark your calendars for September 23 thru the 27th. Across the Red River, Moorhead is also giving homeowners some last minute advice. Moorhead has 400,000 sandbags left over from 2011. While City Engineer, Bob Zimmerman suspects that will be more than enough, the spider machines are ready if need be.
Bob Zimmerman – Moorhead City Engineer: "We'll start delivering sandbags this Wednesday with hopes that into the later part of the week and into the weekend people will focus on building those sandbag levees."
Moorhead has divided its flood fight into 8 zones from Caddy Avenue to 40th Avenue South. Zimmerman says the area around 12th avenue is expected to be hit the hardest. Currently the city has acquired 220 flood buyout homes. The goal is to snag another 50 within the year.
More Fargo flood meetings are set for this Wednesday and Friday. Fifteen-hundred students are coming to town Thursday to help sandbag.

Here's a fun bit of casting news:
Jasmine Guy to play Bonnie's grandmother
That is awesome!! I love Jasmine Guy.
Some interesting character news/changes according to Vampire-Diaries.nt Tyler's dad is the Mayor, & Caroline's mom is the Sheriff. Also according to executive producers/writers Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson, Meredith will be in the show. Shes not in the pilot for plot reasons.
I really hope its true because Meredith is my favorite character from the books.

Jasmine Guy as Bonnie's grandmother is the youngest granny I've ever seen. The actress is just 20 years older than Bonnie (and 18 years older than the actress playing Bonnie)
Jasmine Guy is 47 and I assume that Bonnie is not 27 (which would be a 20 year difference) but more like 17, So there would be a 30 year age difference. If grams and mom both has kids as teens it is possible.

Witch or not, this is pretty lame casting, considering the fact that the show is set in a world where the supernatural isn't out of the closet - I doubt the show will talk about how much surgery/botox people assume granny pays for.
For some reason I feel like it was mentioned that Granny is a LOT older than she looks, she just ages well. And is supernatural with her being a witch and all. I have a feeling that we will get some elaboration/explaination about why she looks so young. I don't think the casting director, Williamson and Plec are THAT ballsy to hire a woman 15-20 years too young to believably be the grandmother of a 17 year old, LOL.

Yes, Kevin Williamson mentioned that in an article with TV Guide Magazine:
"It's a timeless role," explains series executive producer Kevin Williamson. "She looks so young because she's a witch! She's a college professor at the local university who teaches the occult. Bonnie starts to think she may be a witch, and it turns out they have a lineage of witches in their family dating back to Salem. Bonnie thinks it's all crazy until she starts doing things like lighting fires."

Oh, excellent! I just posted in another thread that I thought leaving her out was a huge miss.
I also think it's a huge miss that they showed Damon stroking Elena's face in her bedroom - one of my favorite parts in the book was that Damon couldn't get into her bedroom because it was the original part of the house and therefore he hadn't been invited in.
Also forgot about Klaus...bad sign that I already forgot so much about the books I just re-read a year ago before I knew the CW was making it into a series!

Mild, cryptic spoiler from TVGuide online Mega Buzz:
I have a Vampire Diaries theory: What if Aunt Jenna is actually Jeremy's mom, and that's what her "history" with the newscaster is all about? Nancy
MICKEY: "Jenna is too young to be Jeremy's mom," says my Vampire mole. But a coy Julie Plec, Diaries' co-executive producer, doesn't completely rule it out either. "Everyone's wondering what the secret behind Elena's bloodline is. They'll have to wait and see!" But we didn't ask about Elena. Oh, wait, I see what she did there. Touché, Plec!

I'm loving my Matt Davis dailies. So exciting. He's a fantastic Alaric!!!
Not sure how I feel about this; I pictured Alaric as younger (wasn't he a TA?).

Was he? All right, then, I stand corrected. I thought he was a college student. Not that it matters on this show, where half the cast is 25+ playing 17 year-olds. ;)
I think he'll be okay - I remember Alaric in the books to be a bit older, maybe late 20's. I might have chosen someone a bit more bookish, though. ... At any rate, didn't he hook up with Meredith? Maybe if she's introduced into the tv series, she'll be coming with Alaric.
And they were a couple, yes. I'm curious as to how they are going to bring in the characters. I assume Alaric will replace All-Trades Tanner, but Meredith...? Where does she come in?
Also, from The Ausiello Files:
Question: Rumor has it someones dying on Melrose Place. Who is it?! Shane
Ausiello: Its not a major character, so relax. If you want to discuss a major upcoming death, ask me whos going to bite it on The Vampire Diaries.

Posted Oct 15, 2009 @ 3:34 PM
Biting it, hmmm. Vicki? I'm interested to see how they'll make Carolyn do that freaky ass crab walk with disjointed limbs if we ever get to that point in the series. But since she's too awesome to die right away, I'll just stick with Vicki. Everyone else seems too crucial.
- 0
Posted Oct 17, 2009 @ 1:21 AM
I'm guessing Tyler. He's the mayor's son which would tie in nicely with the storyline involving all of the adults. Maybe Vicki will kill him.

Posted Oct 22, 2009 @ 11:00 AM
Question: OK, Ill bite. Who dies on Vampire Diaries? Bonnie
Ausiello: Female series regular.
Unless Vicki "redies", I vote for the aunt.

So it should be Vicki who dies.
The Vampire Diaries series regular death will be either Vicki Donavan (Kayla Ewell) or Aunt Jenna (Sara Canning)and by dead we mean completely no coming back (except maybe in flashbacks,hallucinations or ghost form)kind of dead.. this death will happen within the next two episodes.
UPDATE: Aunt Jenna seems to be in episode 9 promotional pictures...

You know they're not going to kill Aunt Jenna, because of the whole child services/foster care scenario that would develop from that. I personally find her to be the most uninteresting, female character. I wouldn't bat an eyelash if they had decided to off her instead. And I think that's precisely why they won't kill her, no one would give a rat's ass if they did.
I wish they killed off one of the uninteresting, male characters instead. And by that I mean Tyler or Jeremy.

Of course the problem with killing Jenna is who would then be Elena & Jeremy's guardian but ugh, she is so dull.

Louisville could have trouble closing the gap if Duke's 3-point attack heats up.

Doc's Sports 1* Free NBA Pick... Doc's has been dominant with their 10* NBA picks, and they are on an 11-4 run in their last 15. They have a 10* 3-Pack for Thursday/Friday that includes picks from: Indiana/Atlanta, LA Clippers/Golden State and Chicago/Washington.
We lean to the Thunder to get back on track here on Thursday night after Memphis evened the series in Game 2 in OKC in overtime. We thought all along that Memphis will make some noise in this series, and we still think they will. But the Thunder are the better overall team, and they should bounce back strong here in Game 3. This isn't exactly a must-win for the Thunder, but it is pretty close. A loss here and they would be in real trouble. We expect Durant to take over this game, and we think that this line should be closer to 4 and think that there is some decent value on OKC. We think this will be a close game for most of four quarters but that in the end the key players from the Thunder will be able to rise up and that OKC will pull away late. This team can hang with Memphis defensively if they expert themselves, and their offense, of course, is dominant.

Asolo Stynger GTX

My favorite Asolo boot!
- Sized right
- Sturdy
- Comfortable
- Waterproof
I buy Asolo boots almost exclusively, but the Stynger is by far my favorite Asolo and my favorite hiking boot, overall. I have another boot that I reserve to use with my snowshoes, and I use these for hiking and backpacking.
The sizing is accurate — or at least it was for my size (a women's size 8) — and the break-in time was mercifully short. I usually couple this boot with a good pair of Smartwool light hiking socks. It's a combination that just seems to really work well.
After searching long and hard for the perfect boot,…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $220
After searching long and hard for the perfect boot, I decided on that one. It offered great toe space, was lightweight and had great traction.
- Light
- Durable
- Not as warm as a full grain leather boot
I used it on several hikes and needed some break in, but not near as much as some other brands I have used in the past. I hike in SoCal and wanted boots that would offer great temperature control since the mountains offer alpine climate and the desert, well, is hot.
The shoe lace don't come undone as often as my other pairs used to do. It has great arch support and roomy toe-box. First out of the box they handled ice well, as opposed to other boots I had tried which seemed to need more time to offer the traction I needed.
I have just bought my first Asolo Stynger, and after…
Price Paid: £79
I have just bought my first Asolo Stynger, and after a day of walking had two big lumps on the front of my ankle. Has anyone else had this problem? I also had pain in the front of my ankle but only on one foot.
Thanks. emm
I just had to write a review for these after reading…
Materials: suede, nylon, Gore-tex
Use: hiking, moderate backpacking, scrambles
Break-in Period: there was a break in period?
Weight: 2 lb 5 oz.
Price Paid: $160
I just had to write a review for these after reading a recent negative review given to the Men's version, The Fugitive, by Trailspace member Cody Rayl. Mr. Rayl had numerous problems with several pairs of Asolo Fugitives.
I wanted to let everyone know that my Styngers will be the third pair of Asolo boots I own -- they have always been high quality. Actually, my last pair, the Fusion (I think) isn't even worn out, I just loved the style of the Stynger and HAD to get the red/clay colored version.
I have had NO problems with this pair of Styngers. The break-in period was nearly non-existent, the Gore-tex is solid and I love the beefy soles. I haven't noticed any stiching coming loose, peeling or lumps in the Gore-tex, as Mr. Rayl described in his Fugitives.
These boots are very lightweight and they also provide a decent amount of ankle stability due to their height. I've enjoyed mine so far in many different conditions.
The only problem I've ever had with my Asolos is I must ALWAYS double knot, or my laces come undone.
To be honest they are the worst boots I have ever…
Price Paid: 80 Pounds
To be honest they are the worst boots I have ever had.
So what that they are very waterproof and very comfortable if they are not breathable? I had never ever problem with wet feet until I bought these shoes. I can't use them if there is more than 13-15C degree as my feet are boiling!!! Never mind what kind of socks I'm wearing. I paid for them only 85 pounds, but can wear them in colder day.
They run a little big. Order a half size down unless…
Price Paid: $129
They run a little big. Order a half size down unless you plan on wearing really thick socks every time you wear them. Also, stiff, but expected from a hiking boot. Very comfortable, no breaking in needed. No blisters, and I've had them for 2 months.
Where to Buy
Asolo Stynger GTX
$220.00 - $224.95

Owner, Property Manager, or Traveler
I am new to this forum, but not new to VRBO. I'm an owner of a couple of vacation rentals for six years. My husband and I self manage the business and we really enjoy what we do. We love creating an environment in which our guests can relax and have the vacations they deserve. We have a long history of wonderful guests...many of whom return to us every year. People have a lot of planning, budgeting and a long way to travel to reach our place. We want to meet their expectations...and do our best. Some of them were coming prior to our taking over ownership and we are especially grateful those guests "stuck with us" after the previous owners sold. Thankfully, we have not had many "bad" guests that we would not want back...except for a few that have been immortalized in our "little blacklist" for not treating our place well...for completely wrecking our beach equipment...and / or for leaving the place excessively dirty. They write in our guestbooks how much they've enjoyed our place and can't wait to return. I enjoy telling them that we are full when they've tried. I wish that I would tell them exactly why...but I admit that I'm afraid of potential online wrath of a review from one of them. We have excellent reviews that guests leave in our guestbooks and on our website, too. I believe that our "success" in getting the "good" guests is due to "screening" that we try to do so we get a good match for our accommodations. I search for people online...and it's amazing what folks "share" on the Internet...but most of the time it's good family vacation pics, etc. We usually have no trouble renting to the majority...and mostly turn away those that our capacity can not fit. But, we have to turn some prospects away simply because they do not sound like the kind of people we can give our house keys to, after a couple of contacts. When we first started out, we did have ONE very bad experience with a couple that drank and verbally assaulted me and phoned me several times in the middle of the night to frighten me...[they knew my husband was away]....I got rid of them....long story that I won't go into. I learned a few lessons through that experience. I am always looking for new ways to screen. MY QUESTION: has anyone here experience using GuestChecker.com ? I reviewed their website but I can not find any "customer reviews" online. I wonder if it hurts business when the prospect finds out that the owner will search GuestChecker to see if there are bad reviews about them, before renting to them. Do you tell them, in advance, that your booking procedure includes a GuestChecker screening to see if they turn up as "bad guests" on the database?
When I first started using the service, I too was afraid that guests would be turned off by the idea of having their behavior reported to a third party. However, I decided to try it because I was tired of having my home and my neighbors disturbed by "entitled guests".
So I posted in my rental policies that I use guestchecker. When guests ask about it, I say: "I protect my vacation home against people who would otherwise make it less enjoyable for you. It is simply a way for me to ensure that the property is left in the same condition as they found it so that you, mr renter, can enjoy the property just as I've advertised it."
While I have declined about 15 potential renters due to a bad guestchecker rating, I've had only 3 people turn ME down because I use the service. All three of which were reported to have problems at other facilities and they knew it. Trust me when I say that all three of these guests were not people that you would want to rent to anyway. You know when you get that feeling. That this renter is going to cause trouble, damage, and make unreasonable demands.
My guests are actually glad I use it! At least the type of renters we all want: respectful, leave the property in excellent condition, check out on time, don't demand to be compensated as soon as a small problem arises, etc. Since I began letting renters know I am a guestchecker member, people are actually on better behavior. In which case, function follows form.
Think about it for a moment. If someone wouldn't finance a car from an auto dealer just because they run a credit check, they probably have bad credit. Who wants to do business with someone who has a history of not respecting a contract? Not me. Like I said, I have turned away about 15 guests because they had problems with other hotels, b&b, or vaction rentals. On several of these occasions, I later found out that they caused trouble somewhere else. If I turn away someone and they go somewhere else to party like a rockstar, that's just fine by me. They are going to cause problems somewhere. I'm just glad it wasn't at my property.
Again, I was unsure about the service at first. But now, I wouldn't rent my lovely home without it. Using the service has not hurt my business. Quite the contrary! My damage costs, wear and tear costs, and noise complaints have all but vanished.
I would imagine that guestchecker will start charging a yearly fee someday. And I will gladly pay for it.
I agree with adameaster. It has had only a positive impact on my business. My repair costs and other guests complaints have diminished significantly.
If for no other reason, I feel a moral obligation to let all the other owners know about a problem guest. I can only hope they feel the same conviction and let me know about their bad experiences.
Guests have been posting reviews on us for years. Its time we start reviewing them!
I'm wondering is adameaster is an employee for guestchecker.
I think this a good idea in concept but has many flaws. First off, I would be worried about retaliation by the renter if they knew something bad was written about them. This happened with the big shakeup in Ebay a few years when sellers were no longer allowed to leave feeback for buyers because they wanted transparency. They wanted the buyer to leave feedback without the retalation of the seller so buyers weren't leaving feedback and sellers weren't appropriately graded. The exact thing will happen with this site. An owner will leave a review, and the renter will immediately leave a bad review on vrbo/homeaway and probably on any site they can find.
Also, I notice they require a live link on your page. I'm highly doubtful that vrbo/homeway will allow a live link of this company as their policies are extremely strict about what links they allow.
Haha. Yeah I guess my review was a little lengthy. I can assure you that I don't work for guestchecker. Not sure how they would pay me anyway. I've never understood a freeware business model.
I have never had a bad guest review that was a result of guestchecker but I see your point. Regardless, the positive far outweighs the potential negative. If someone leaves a bad review does it really translate into a lack of rentals? I would say that a bad guest experience certainly results in a lack of repeat business, without question. Anything I can do to ensure the satisfaction of my current and future guests, including joining a blacklisting service, is something I will continue to do.
thanks for the thought provoking response.
By the way, I couldn't put the live link to their website on vrbo. Instead I put it in my rental policies. Noone at guestchecker has shut me down so far........
Humm, I own 3 vacation rentals and I see 100's of renters every year. I joined guestchecker and I looked up every single renter I've had for the past 2 years and NOT 1 of them showed up as bad tenants. I'm highly suspicious of your (15) bad renters that you declined. If it doesn't make sense, it usually isn't true.
I didn't mean to imply that I care about your suspicions. I can assure you that I don't. I do however find your obvious mistrustful demeanor curious. Is it possible that your name is on the list? Is this an attempt to discredit the service, thus clearing your name?
I emailed Guestchecker with the question of not being able to post a live link on my ad, since I don't have a website.
They told me to just add a statement to my rental contract that I use gustchecker.com. Simple.
I have a funny (and successful) screening story. First inquiry from bride to be who was to get married in Duck. She wanted the cottage for her fiancee's family, 6 adults, 2 children. I informed her that our cottage was not suitable for event related rentals but also told her that she should have no trouble finding a nice cottage for them, that she had chosen a terrific place for her wedding, and that I hoped her wedding planning was fun and successful. She emailed back to thank me for my kind words. Next day got an inquiry from a male for the same week, 5 adults, 2 children. Took both their names to Google and found out they were each other's "friends" on Facebook. So, though I always make a phone call to inquirers that look good, I just emailed him. Stated that our cottage is not suitable for events such as weddings or reunions or school related get togethers, and if his party did not fall into those categories, to please respond so that I could answer any questions he might have about the cottage. Never heard back from him.

Nekisia Davis' Olive Oil and Maple Granola
Author Notes: This recipe, adapted very slightly from Early Bird Foods' best-selling Farmhand's Choice Granola, is like muesli after a vampy makeover. Olive oil, maple, brown sugar and coarse salt form a rich, shaggy crust on wholesome innards like oats, pecans, and coconut shards. - Genius Recipes
Makes about 7 cups
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds, hulled
- 1 cup raw sunflower seeds, hulled
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut chips
- 1 1/4 cup raw pecans, left whole or coarsely chopped
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
- Coarse salt
- Heat oven to 300 degrees.
- Place oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut, pecans, syrup, olive oil, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Spread granola mixture in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to oven and bake, stirring every 10-15 minutes, until granola is toasted, about 45 minutes.
- Remove granola from oven and season with more salt to taste. Let cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

This is a brilliant beginning recipe to tweak to your own tastes. I encountered a very similar maple / olive oil granola on Molly Wizenberg's blog Orangette several months ago (perhaps it's the same genesis?). I absolutely love it. I've been making my own slightly simpler version with less sugar, a little less oil, and the addition of almond butter. I also like to stir mine less often so I get more clumps, and only leave it in the oven for 35 minutes for a lighter flavor. http://bit.ly/1le0pJb Love the other ideas for add-ins though!

I made a batch a few weeks to go to pack for a ski trip and everyone loved it! I didn't have coconut so I added banana chips, craisins, and golden raisins. I'm making a second batch today, packing it up in mason jars, and spreading the love!

I made a recipe for granola about a year and a half ago I found in one of my cooking magazines. It was an article about a restaurant in NY that gives granola as a parting gift after the meal. I loved it and couldn't find it when it was time to make another batch. I have been making different granolas hoping to find something as good, to no avail. FINALLY! My search has ended, this one is really great and gift worthy too. I made an apple gallette for dessert last night and this morning heated it up, put a some plain yogurt on it and sprinkled a generous portion of the granola on top...great breakfast!

Amazing! I made the recipe as written except I subbed dried cranberries for the pumpkin seeds (I was out of them). It's delicious!

I tweaked this recipe just a bit by adding allspice, cinnamon & nutmeg. My house smells wonderful! After pulling from the oven I decided I wanted this batch to be more dessert like and added some bittersweet chocolate before it cooled. This is going on froyo, ice cream, Greek yogurt & on everything else I can think of... oh I also replaced the nuts for pecans, almonds & walnuts... and replaced the fruit with apple juice sweetened cranberries. Okay, maybe I tweaked more than a bit, but still excellent! :)

As the other commenters have noted... this granola is AMAZING. I'm a granola fiend and I'm so happy to have found it! I have a double batch in the oven right now and my apartment smells incredible. I personally find this too sweet for breakfast - more of a sweet snack - so I cut the brown sugar entirely and reduced the maple syrup down to half a cup. The salt in this recipe (as with so many!) is definitely key. I can't recommend giving this one a shot highly enough. Thank you, Food52, for relaying this recipe!

I first heard about Nekisia Davis and Early Bird Foods granola from a recipe in my local paper. You can see this recipe on my Tumblr page:
It is a stupendous recipe. It's very similar to this recipe, whose intro says is very similar to an Early Bird Foods granola. The intrinsic versatility and deliciousness of the olive oil-maple syrup-salt combo is soooooooo stellar! I'm always down with trying a new granola recipe, but I always make batches of this periodically throughout the year as well.

This is insanely yummy!!!!!! On my second batch, really loving this, going to make Christmas tins full of this granola and make it into gifts. Thanks for sharing!

This recipe is very similar to a NYT granola "Olive oil granola with cardamom and pistachio." All the ratios and instructions are the same. Only the decorations differ. I wonder which came first. I have been making a (much less sweet) version of that NYT one for years. The (fresh ground) cardamom and cinnamon are absolutely crucial. I'm surprised they're absent here.
Thanks for the egg white tip!

I believe Nekisia's came first -- Melissa Clark credits her in this 2009 article: http://www.nytimes.com... The adaptability of this recipe is one of the reasons I think it's so genius -- will have to try cardamom and cinnamon some time!

Thank you! My fist batch is cooling right now and it is PERFECT. I had to improvise..no maple syrup (Really, hubby? That went fast!), so I used wildflower honey. No pecans (which I LOVE, but was too impatient to wait to go to the market), so walnuts and cashews substituted. I LOVE it!!! Can't wait until the hubby gets a taste of this! Glad it made a big batch. Next time, I am going to make it with the maple syrup and pecans. There is something about the olive oil and the salt that make this incredibly addictive. THANK YOU!!!

This is the BEST GRANOLA EVER. The only change I make is to line the baking sheet with parchment paper to speed up cleanup (more time for eating). My coworkers beg me to make it almost daily.
10 months ago Andrea23
I have been making this recipe for over a year now--we don't buy store bought granola or cereal anymore--it can't compare to this. Except I do make a few changes to make it lower in sugar:
-Instead of 3/4 cup of maple syrup, I do 1/4 cup of maple syrup and 1/4 cup of agave nectar "amber".
-Instead of 1/2 cup of light-brown sugar, I do 1/4 cup of Blonde Coconut Palm Sugar.
Everything else is the same. I usually find it is done in 30 minutes instead of 45 though--you want to pull it out the second you see it start to turn brown. It won't be crispy when you pull it out of the oven, but will crispify when it cools.
10 months ago JosieD
Just made a batch... soooo good. I have made a lot of granola in my day, but this one was a real winner- I think it's the olive oil that does it. That touch of savory really makes this incredible.

Never have made a home made Granola. The best breakfast ever. I can no longer buy it from the store. Thanks!

Werth powers Nats over Phillies
The Washington Nationals looked like the Nationals of 2012, coming back from a 4-0 deficit to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 8-5.
They can thank Jayson Werth for the win and a banner night. Werth celebrated his 1,000th hit in huge fashion, smacking a two run home run in the 8th inning to give the Nats a lead they would not relinquish. On the night, Werth was 3 for 5 at the plate and scored 3 of the Nats 8 runs, while accounting for three RBI. He remains on a three game tear, collecting 6 hits in his last 11 plate appearances with 5 RBI.
After a disastrous second inning by rookie starter Taylor Jordan, in which he allowed the Phillies to build a 4-0 lead, the Nats began the come from behind rally in the fourth inning. Werth started it off with an RBI single that scored Ryan Zimmerman. Adam LaRoche knocked in Werth on a fielders choice ground out to cut the Phillies lead to 4-2. Wilson Ramos singled in Werth in the sixth inning to narrow the deficit to just one run, at 4-3.
The big damage came in the seventh inning as the Nats pounded the Phillies for 4 hits, 3 walks, and a fielders choice that resulted in 5 runs. After Denard Span sacrificed Steve Lombardozzi to second base, Lombo stole third, giving the Nats a runner on third with one out. After Ryan Zimmerman walked, Bryce Harper grounded into a fielders choice to score Lombardozzi and tie the game at 4-4. Werth then came to the plate with 999 career hits and slice a two run homer to collect his 1,000th hit and give the Nats a 6-4 lead. The Nats weren't done. Ian Desmond doubled to give the Nats another runner in scoring position. The Phillies then intentionally walked LaRoche and Ramos followed with single that loaded the bases. Rookie Anthony Rendon delivered an RBI single that scored Desmond and LaRoche to account for the final two runs scored by the Nats.
Taylor Jordan threw 5 innings and allowed 7 hits and 4 runs. Rookie Tanner Roark relieved Jordan and earned his first major league career winning, tossing two more shutout innings. In two successive outings, Roark has permitted just 1 hit over 4 scoreless innings. Rafael Soriano pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his 29th save.
It may be a long shot, but the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds losing tonight, the Nats move to within 8 games of the National League wild card spot. The Nats will go for a weekend, three game series sweep against the Phillies tomorrow.
Nats Streaks:
* Jayson Werth extended his hitting to THREE game.
* Rafael Soriano extended his scoreless innings streak to SIX straight.

Episode 519, "At Rest" Tonight 1|12c AM
SEASON 3, EPISODE 315 - Jack and the team investigate the disappearance of Chelsea Prince, a 23-year-old society girl known for her constant partying and headline-grabbing escapades. Her badly beaten limousine driver recounts how the limo was ambushed and Chelsea was taken. The kidnappers create a website poll encouraging people to vote on whether Chelsea should live or die. The team begins its investigation while entertaining the idea that Chelsea may have orchestrated the kidnapping to obtain publicity. The preliminary suspects include the married owner of several popular Manhattan clubs who was enraged when he learned that Chelsea secretly made a sex tape of them together. Also, a disheveled young man had interrupted one of Chelsea's recent book signings, ranting that his sister killed herself because Chelsea ignored the girl's fan letters. Suspicions arise when the investigators discover the heiress begged her business manager for $100,000 the month ago. The pressure really mounts when the majority of poll participants vote for Chelsea to die.
